History of the Derby County v Tottenham Hotspur fixture

Derby County play host to Tottenham Hotspur at Pride Park on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Rams are clearly on top, having won 17 and lost only 6 of the 33 games.

The last time the two teams met at Derby County was back in February 2002, over five years ago, the Rams carving out a narrow 1-0 victory in a Premiership match.

Recent respective form guides

Derby County's disastrous home run has meant they have managed only 2 draws from the last six matches. While Rams have scored 6, a worringly large 12 have been leaked at the other end.

Tottenham H.'s away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the Spurs have hit 4 goals, 8 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Derby County find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 25 games have yielded only 9 points. Tottenham H. see themselves just below half way in the Barclays Premier League, showing a record of 29 points from their 25 games played so far,
